Gaming on holiday

I’m currently out of the country visiting friends and looking around.

Normally I used to hunt out games shops to see what games I could find and bring back home to play.

These days I also like to find historic sites to look around and photograph so I have interesting locations to show my players.

I remember photographing an industrial estate in Boston and using that for all sorts of location shots for a Conspiracy X game.

On this trip I found an incredible site to loon around; Citadel Hill in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Here is an eight pointed star fort with renactors and guided tours. I may not set a game here but at least you have an idea of how the Victorian era British army defended their territory  and may be used in a Space 1889 game.

Once home I’m going to blog again, so hope to see you in a week or so.

About the Author

I've been gaming on and off since about 1989 and during that period have played with numerous game systems. I'm fluent in a few, have a basic understanding of quite a few more and can get by in others. Somewhere along the way I found time to be a playtester, contribute to an unpublished game supplement and be associated with another gaming magazine written by far more talented people than I. This lead to one infamous article being written in which I followed the letter of the adventure and torched the parties river barge. I'm also listed on http://rpggeek.com as a game designer.
